Li Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Military information is urgent, so you can't delay it. Go in and report it."

Xiao Lezi nodded, and stopped talking about anything else, and stepped into the hall.

Not long after, Xiao Lezi walked out and asked Li Xun to go in.

There are three people in the hall, Zhao Xun, Sheng Shitong and Qin Anming.

"I'm going to see your Majesty."

Li Xun bowed and bowed.

Zhao Xun had a very gloomy face. There were broken porcelain bowls scattered on the ground ahead, which was obviously his masterpiece.

"Stand up, no gifts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Xun stood up straight. At this time, Zhao Xun spoke, his voice quite cold: "Xiao Lezi said you have an emergency military report, and something happened again?"

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Emperor, Zhezhou urgently reported that Yang Daoan led his army to Zhezhou and fought a decisive battle with the Qiang tribe at the city. The two sides fought fiercely from noon to dusk. Yang Daoan was defeated and had more than half of his troops were killed. He had led more than 10,000 remaining troops back to Shuzhou. The Qiang tribe's troops exceeded 40,000. In the four prefectures of Jian, Mao, Lin and Zi, the leader of the Qiang tribe, Chi Jiadan, led a 30,000 army to advance to Hezhou..."

After Li Xun read the letter, Zhao Xun's already gloomy face suddenly became even more gloomy. He was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I gave him the Yang family as the Prime Minister. Is this how Yang Daoan repaying me?"

Zhao Xun pointed at Xiao Lezi and shouted angrily: "Go and call me this old man Yang Daolin here immediately. He wants to give me an explanation about the Zhezhou matter."

After hearing Zhao Xun's words, Li Xun, Sheng Shitong and others looked a little surprised. As an emperor, no matter what secretly, he must at least maintain the qualities and noble character of the emperor on the outside. Now, Zhao Xun openly insulted in front of the ministers, and scolded the right prime minister of the current dynasty. If this matter spread, it would definitely greatly damage Zhao Xun's reputation.

But it can be seen that Zhao Xun's emotions were extremely bad at this time and he was almost unable to control himself.

Xiao Lezi stood there, hesitating a little. Zhao Xun's words were obviously out of standard, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Dog slave, why don't you go quickly."

Seeing Xiao Lezi standing there motionless, Zhao Xun's anger suddenly burst out and pointed at him and scolded him angrily.

At this time, Li Xun spoke: "Master, the war is the most dangerous thing in the world, and victory or defeat is unpredictable. It is already rare for Yang Daoan to take charge of the battle at the age of 65."

Qin Anming continued: "Now is not the time to worry about who is responsible, but to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to deal with the Qiang rebellion."

"You have used up all the money, what else can you do?"

Zhao Xun said an angry word, but from his expression and tone, it can be seen that he had calmed down at this time.

Li Xun's words just now were undoubtedly a tactful advice to Zhao Xun. Yang Daoan did not make any effort to rebel in the Qiang rebellion. He did his best. The reason for his defeat was that Yang Daoan underestimated the enemy. There were 50,000 soldiers in Shuzhou, but Yang Daoan only took out 10,000 soldiers, obviously not wanting to spend too much money. Later, he was waiting for the arrival of the military troops of the governor's offices of Jian and Mao states, and even missed the opportunity. That was just some of Yang Daoan's personal thoughts and strategic mistakes, which had nothing to do with other aspects.

Sheng Shitong bowed and said, "Emperor, the Ministry of Revenue has only listed all expenses and notified the officials to come and collect them, but the money has not been sent out yet. Three million taels of silver are still in the Ministry of Revenue. The war is now in critical condition. If the emperor feels it is necessary, I am willing to return all the money to Your Majesty."

Zhao Xun remained silent, and after a moment, he sighed: "Forget it, the officials in the capital have also suffered a lot of crimes in the past two years. Now that the court has money, let it give it to them, so as not to say behind my back what I am not."

Sheng Shitong hurriedly said, "I dare not."

Zhao Xun smiled, dared not say it out loud.

"Li Xun, you are in charge of the Ministry of War and the affairs of the Qiang tribe. What do you think?"

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun and asked.

"The Qiang rebellion was fierce. The Jiannan Jiedushi had no movement except Yang Daoan. Obviously, he did not want to participate in it. The battle situation was urgent. If the situation could not be controlled in a short period of time, the momentum of the Qiang rebellion might become increasingly louder."

When he came, Li Xun had already thought about this matter, so when facing Zhao Xun's inquiry, he immediately responded, but he just analyzed the possible situation. As for how to solve it, the world is too short, and Li Xun had not thought of a countermeasure yet.

Qin Anming said, "Emperor, Yang Run has returned to Fengjing. He has taken office as the Prime Minister. The other prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall do not have a big opinion. Why not take this opportunity to let him go to Jiannan in the name of Prime Minister and urge the governor of Shuzhou Yang Daoan to raise all his troops and quell the Qiang rebellion."

Qin Anming's words made Zhao Xun's eyes lit up.

Li Xun's meaning is that the far water cannot save the near fire, while Qin Anming's meaning is to use local materials and push all the matter of suppressing the rebellion to Yang Daoan.

Yang Run was promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and he had already begun to enter the process. Qin Anming's words just now, he did not have much opinions on Yang Run's appointment, but he was not without opinions. Now that the Qiang rebellion and the situation was expanding, it was necessary to use Yang Daoan. He urgently followed the power and immediately appointed Yang Run as Prime Minister and asked him to go to Jiannan to supervise the battle. He was all his own family, and Yang Daoan would not give this face.

In fact, Zhao Xun and Yang Daolin were qualified to be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall. There were two of them, both of which were about Yang Daoan. First, Yang Daoan's headquarters had 50,000 troops, and they were not allowed to expand. Second, Yang Daoan's position as an observer in the army would be appointed by the court for supervision.

Li Xun continued Qin Anming's words and said: "We cannot put all our hopes on others. The court must also make preparations to let Huang Hui gather his army and prepare for the war. In addition, Huang Baichuan had just set out and had not entered Jiannan yet, and the 20,000 troops in his hands might be able to be used."

After hearing Li Xun's words, Zhao Xun nodded repeatedly.
